Does Chanel Rhyme with Nutshell?



Whilst currently flicking through the latest copy of Vogue (Aug '11) which I would like to say is a pretty good issue; featuring an amazing lengthy piece on Christopher Bailey, a pretty smart little trend round up of the season and a cool editorial inspired by bloggers style at fashion week(s), I came across the latest A/W Chanel campaign.

Shot by the one and only Karl Lagerfeld himself and styled by the infamous Carine Roitfeld, this off the wall shoot is so what I love about fashion right now, its fun, it's quirky, it's arty, and it can be whatever, as long as it holds a presence, which I think these images certainly do. Freja Beha Erichsen brings the energy and beauty as always in all the Chanel campaigns. It is easy to see why she is Karl's golden girl, she just has that look that is so new Chanel, still chic and demure with a wild playful edge.

New Style Post ~ Le Blanche Neige








Another outfit of white, white and more white; with a hint of noir. My favourite colour combo for the summer and this Ann D skirt which is my favourite item at the moment, is the perfect piece of white that everyone should have in their wardrobe.
These pictures were taken in the gorgeous little city of Bath just after Charlie and I had gone to the spa for her belated birthday treat (hence the semi-damp 'beach hair' look)

Oh the polo. I actually love it. If someone said last season that the polo neck sweater was going to be a big trend for Winter, I might have chuckled; but I am definitely going to embrace this one, it's so chic, sexy and is going to be a welcome layer when it gets frosty in the winter months. 
It's just going to be hard now trying to fight the urge to dress in AW clothes, must stick to my whites for what we are calling "Summer" at the moment...

The Beautiful People











Jon Kortajarena and Dree Hemingway. Possibly two of the most beautiful people in the world, and I have a complete crush on both of them right now. 
The smoking hot, sexy spanish SeƱor and the sultry american stunner shot by Sebastian Faena and styled by Mary Fellowes for the July issue of Vogue Turkey, are a match made in fashion heaven. I only just learned that he is the super hot guy in A Single Man that Colin Firth meets at a gas station and she is the great-granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway. So cool it hurts.
This editorial is amazing and has such a warmth to it that goes beyond posing in some nice clothes, the pair look so beautifully and effortlessly stylish and comfortable, I love it's snapshot style and anyone who has ever been in love can relate to these images. My favourite is the one at the top; Dree in the orange sweater, hands on the frowning Jon, it is very full of emotion for me.
